Maybe you are going to have some problems when execute the script, in some cases you will have an error like this:
Msg 5808, Level 16, State 1, Line 1
Ad hoc update to system catalogs is not supported.

This is caused when you try to execute RECONFIGURE

So, You will need to change to this

sp_configure ’show advanced options’, 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO
sp_configure ‘Agent XPs’, 1;
GO
RECONFIGURE WITH OVERRIDE;
GO

I hope this work for you

In our case, we had recently turn on AWE to manage the memory of the instance. I have no idea why but we then received the error regarding the Agent XPs being disabled when opening a maintenanace plan. Unchecking the setting resolved our issue.
